Okay. So where are you getting your information from? Tarot - especially the ORIGINAL Tarot decks, were made of whatever cards the practitioner happened to have around - most were hand-drawn, and most had specific meaning to the practitioner. It was not until MUCH later that the 'standardized' Tarot decks came into vogue as an elaborate game / money trap for the masses. Most practitioners that believe in the cards that strongly DO still use hand-drawn cards, OR they pick and choose cards from various decks that mean something to them.

As a matter of fact, saying such things only shows that you know only the 'common' face of Tarot - where there are many more. The Woodland decks, while standardized, use more of a nature-esque theme. Also, the entire point of Tarot Reading is to use cards that you feel represent something to YOU. Otherwise the reading is not considered accurate. True practitioners even consider using a deck that feels uncomfortable to you the highest form of mockery that Tarot Reading has. Not to mention the decks, as I said before, are often hodgepodges of other decks.

So think about it this way - if Trisphee's Tarot happens to have items not found in other decks, isn't that, by the same token I just mentioned, the highest form of Tarot there is? Using something that you feel means something to you, the practitioner, versus using a 'common' deck of something you don't believe in?
